Eighty-one rebased 28mm medieval figures and a large bombard, a mixture of Perry, Foundry, Irregular, and the old Grenadier range by Mark Copplestone .

All figures have had the old basing material removed, which was a real pain, especially when I was foolish enough to use Milliput back in the 80's! New bases have been created, chipped and worn paintwork retouched, flags repainted and highlighted and an army painter ink wash and highlights added where needed.
